With India recording over 6,000 Covid-19 cases on Friday, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya chaired a high-level meeting with health ministers of states and Union Territories to review the public health preparedness and the status of Covid-19 vaccination. He directed states to identify emergency hotspots, ramp up testing, and ensure hospital infrastructure readiness.
Mandaviya underscored the need for the Centre and the states to work in collaboration as was done during the previous waves of Covid-19 to keep infection under control.
